Your favourite piece of play

My favourite piece of play from the weekends game against Richmond was this:

THIRD QUARTER

After Joel MacDonald went down in the third quarter he got back up gingerly, received a handball and gave it straight back and help start a most memorable piece of play from what I think was a stoppage (throw in or ball up) inside Richmond's forward 50, scoreboard pocket. It involved from memory (in no particular order) MacDonald, McKenzie, Davey, Junior, Jones, Bruce who took a bounce kicked out to a strong lead from Sylvia who timed the lead and marked in full flight. Sylvia took a bounce and as he entered 50 looked as though he was going to kick for goal, but spotted Wonaeamirri up in the goal square (good accurate low kick too) unattended, who then kicked the goal.

The movement of the ball was both exquisite and fast. It left Richmond in their wake.

Another glimpse of the future.

Any other favourite plays from the Richmond game ?

It was a fantastic piece of play!

We went coast to coast many times. The commentary was great as well as they were left gobsmacjed at how quick the ball was moved and the precision of the movement.

Not specifically one play but ithought bartrams aggressive tackles were fantastic.

Bennels dash through the middle to set up jurrahs last goal was pretty damn good as well

Gutsy effort from JoelMac. Took the hard hit and carried on. Came back on after he had recovered.

Good effort HT. Good passage of play.

I did like Dunn's goal over his shoulder. He won the ball from the contest and under pressure on the boundary line had the resolve and the cool to use it purposefully. A definite step up.

Bail's gather of a dropped ball, the spin, the run forward, and the beautiful chipped pass to Watts....it will give me something to remember when everybody gets their wish and he is dropped this week to make room for whoever

That was my favourite piece of play too, and I'll enjoy watching him repeat those movements when he doesn't get dropped this week! demon_cool.gif

I can't see Bail getting dropped. I did like the spin and confidence in hitting up Jack.

How was McAvaney's commentary....sign him up Jimmy.

Observation: Dunn's set shot on the three quarter time siren, anyone notice "Dunny's arc?" (as opposed to Buddy's arc)

Hard to go past Bail's blind spin but the replay is on Foxtel at 4:30 and I remember JW doing one or two really nice switches of play that set up goals, I'll get back on that after another watch.

Can't go past that. Brilliant. What about Sylvia's pace? He took off like a rocket.

There was also a nice passage from the kick-in, all the way for a Dunn goal.

Also Jones and Rivers getting down low and hard, getting smashed, earning the free, getting up like it was nothin'.

We've been very hard at it of late.

Watts took a mark between the centre and the 50 arc ... kicked to Bruce who had run alone into space out wide ... who then weighted a perfect pass to Green on a fast lead. Green goaled from outside 50, straight over the goal umpire's head.

Hang on ... another perfectly weighted kick by Bruce!

Tears may well have been held back when I distinctly observed Watts spot up Jurrah twice with some accurate kicks i50. Hint of synergy coming to fruition here between two very important players with respect to our forward structure. :)

I noticed this ark mostly when he kicked the winning goal against the lions. Was hoping that he would kick it before the Soren went as it looks as if he does have a significant ark when he goes for the long bombs. Maybe we should seek clarification from the umps and make it knownnthat this is his normal ark before it costs us a goal after the siren.

Oh yes. 1st quarter I think.

Where Garland kicked it into space from the kickout and Jones met it. Was like threading the eye of the needle. Terrific zone busting play this one. Can't recall who kicked the goal though. But it went coast to coast.

edit: Looked at analyser - Jones then found Wonaeamirri on the wing who found Bennell at Half forward...it ends up with Dunn at the point of goal square.

I've missed a lot of our footy this year, but that was the goal of the year that I've seen us drill.

I've noticed that in the last month or so, we've won games but not had the highlights that other teams have enjoyed. Which is neither here nor there, of course.

Other highlights:

Bail's 360 and run full tilt drill it to Watts who goals.

Dunn's 55-60 metre goal that was never going to miss, halfway up the goal posts. He never looked like passing it off. Looked every bit the mature 100-game CHF for about a minute there.

Dunn's non-goal. And Watts goal that wasn't paid.

PJ not being awarded an obvious mark, then getting up after the spoil and slamming a Tiger into the turf.

Just watched the replay on fox and swear that both the Johnson non-mark and watts non-goal were not shown. Did anyone else watch the 4.30 replay and notice this or did I have two lapses in concentration?

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
